Trump wants to rob American families to pay for war. That is what his budget for next year boils down to.

$205. That’s the added cost New Hampshire families paid to heat their homes in March thanks to the President's war in Iran. I’m fighting to lower costs for my constituents, but our President’s actions are doing just the opposite.

The decisions we make in Washington have a direct impact on Illinoisans. Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I had a productive conversation with Champaign County First about how our federal government can best support Central Illinois’ economic development.

If you were outraged when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you should be outraged by what they're doing to students who spoke out against the war in Gaza. Now they're firing immigration "judges" who refuse to go along with their illegal scheme. Defend free speech! ⬇️

What difference does it make if you’re a hospitality worker not getting taxed on tips when you have to spend any money you saved at the pump thanks to Trump’s higher gas prices?

The Pope criticized Trump’s war in Iran and now Trump is cutting funding from Catholic charities helping homeless kids. Not a coincidence. Just retaliation. He doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Between tariffs and the administration’s war with Iran, costs are rising across the board. It’s rippling through our economy and hurting families, small businesses, and farmers.

I don't believe that Donald Trump believes in much of anything. I don’t believe he has a moral core. In fact, I believe he holds people of faith in contempt. Religion for him is just one more tool in his toolbox to divide us in order to dominate us.

Seattle is literally breaking records for the price of diesel thanks to Trump's war of choice. This is hitting our supply chains—and you're going to see the difference at the grocery store. I'll keep voting to end this senseless war again and again.

No one should fear for their lives or face imprisonment for standing up for democracy. I joined Senator Cruz and a bipartisan group of Senators to call on President Xi to release political prisoners Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai.

Regime change? Not really. Iranian navy destroyed? No. All nuclear capabilities ended? Also no. We’ve spent billions on a war that’s taken American lives and achieved none of its goals.

Today, I met with Illinois members of the Joint Action Committee to discuss the dangerous rise of antisemitism, US-Israel relations, and gun violence. Hate in all its forms has no place in America, and I will continue to fight for the rule of law and democratic norms that shield us from such evils.

I hope he sees for himself the high gas prices squeezing Nevadans at the pump and finally outlines a concrete plan to bring down costs—but I'm not holding my breath.

As Donald Trump visits Las Vegas today, Nevadans are paying the highest gas prices in four years and stretching their budgets to the limit just so they can afford their daily commute.

Trump's illegal war with Iran is costing U.S. taxpayers BILLIONS, has left 13 U.S. servicemembers dead, killed thousands, weakened U.S. credibility, and is forcing prices here at home to skyrocket — and Senate Republicans are doing nothing to stop it. Spineless.

Farmers can't afford to wait months for a John Deere tech to show up and overcharge them to repair their tractor. It's time to make right to repair the law of the land — for farmers, our military, car owners, and all Americans.

January 6 was a violent assault on our democracy, and those responsible must be held accountable. Erasing these convictions undermines the rule of law and disrespects the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line defending the Capitol.

Thank you to the many states—including Vermont—who carried on with this trial despite the Trump Administration settling and dropping out. Live Nation has been ripping off concertgoers for too long. This verdict is a victory for music fans and a blow against corporate greed.

TRANSLATION: When Trump's budget director says he doesn't know the cost of Trump's war because it is "fluctuating" what he means is that the cost keeps going WAY up.

Gas & diesel cost too much. Farmers need markets for crops—biofuels will help. But oil state Republicans stopped Congress from creating year-round E15 ethanol, & slowed USDA tools that let farmers benefit from Treasury biofuel tax credits. Yesterday, I met with Growth Energy to discuss fixing this.

Trump—who for years cozied up to Erdogan amidst Turkey’s backsliding democracy—called off a criminal case against a Turkish bank accused of laundering over $20B for Iran to evade sanctions. We need answers from Trump’s DOJ about this betrayal of American victims of Iranian state-sponsored terror.

The administration is threatening a major escalation of the war it unilaterally started with Iran — and now wants $200 billion more. That money could and should be used to lower health care costs, build more housing, and make things more affordable for Americans.
